Mehdi Karroubi issued a statement addressed to the people of Iran regarding the events of Feb. 11th (the demonstrations to mark the 31st anniversary of the Islamic Revolution). In this statement Karroubi while strongly criticising the use of brutal violence and the domination of security atmosphere on the Feb 11th rally, proposed two resolutions to the current crisis: First; he suggested that based on the Article 27 constitution a permission would be given to the Greens to hold a gathering in one of the squares of Tehran so that once and for all the number of those opposing the government and those supporting it would be clearly known to all. Second; he proposed that according to the constitution a referendum would be held so that it would be clear that whether the appointed body of Guardian Council and its oversight on important affairs including elections is accepted by the society or not.l
